Social Skill Training at Home and in Community Settings Michael J. Asher, Ph.D., ABPP Behavior Therapy Associates, PA

The ability of children to get along with peers and adults is as important to self-esteem as the ability to meet with academic success in the classroom. Social Skills allow children to initiate and maintain positive relationships with others and as a result contribute to peer acceptance as opposed to rejection. Children with limited social effectiveness are at risk for a variety of psychological and related problems, including strained social interactions. The abilities to remain calm when things don’t go their way, express emotions appropriately, pay attention to the rules of a game, negotiate and compromise are but a few of the many complex skills necessary for social effectiveness. Social Skill Training is critical to preclude problems as well as to ameliorate existing problems children may have in social situations. This presentation will review the processes involved in the development of social skills, when and why problems may develop, and specific strategies and interventions to address social skills deficits.
